Hi All,
I am starting this thread to post about my journey in hopes it will benefit others and also myself through feedback and suggestions.
I've had it all wrong. I leaped into entrepreneurship without tending to one of the most important aspects: Health.
Time-wasting bad habits have held me back. My mental health has acted as an anchor to my goals but no longer.
I found myself going through long strides of depression with short bursts of ecstasy and energy. One doctor said I may be
bipolar but others disagreed. There is still a long way to go but I have been making changes to my lifestyle.
Bad habits like watching Youtube, Netflix, etc endlessly are out the window. I am pretty active but I am planning on going to the gym
with some friends soon. With the extra time on my hands, I have been reading books, listening to podcasts, and making a proper
start on my Fastlane journey!
I am a part owner of a moving company in Wellington, New Zealand. I was in uni studying engineering but due to the aforementioned health,
my studies weren't going terribly well. When my friend told me he was starting Mr Shifter with his dad who had a lot of experience in the industry, I knew it would be a good start to my journey. At the end of the day, the same skills I was learning in uni can be acquired online for a fraction of the price.
Mr. Shifter has been operating for a few months now and already has a great foundation of five-star reviews. The other day, we were picking up a cabinet that a customer had bought. The seller was so impressed with our techniques and care that she asked for a business card, saying she will be using us in future. Productocracy in action!
There is a lot of subpar competition in Wellington when it comes to moving and Mr. Shifter can eat them alive! We have been looking at a carbon
neutral model as well as how moving companies operate in Japan.

I am also looking into flipping cars. Here in NZ, you can sell, 8 cars per year without a dealership license (which costs only $700 NZD ish).
There is some good money in it and lucky for me, one of my friends is a qualified mechanic who can teach and help me out.
Currently, I am also in the process of upskilling myself on things such as coding and bookkeeping.
Long term, I would like to sell my stake in the moving company back to my friend and his dad and start my own ventures. I am quite interested
in green energy and would love to tap into the market there. Real estate is another good one, but property here is quite expensive.
Till next time.
